9 Reasons Everyone Should Listen To Latin Music
Black Tomato

Coming from a Colombian and Mexican cultured household, Latin music has been a huge part of my life. Latin music is upbeat, lively, sexy and, best of all, brings people together. Here are nine reasons why everyone should listen to latin music.

1. It's easy to dance to.

Sick of listening to the same mainstream music at parties? Go check out J Balvin. He, amongst many latin artists, knows how to mix beats to make your butt shake like there is no tomorrow. You really don't need to know what they are saying because the rhythm is enough to get you dancing for days.

2. The best dance parties come out of it.

You have never experienced a real party if you haven't gone to a Latin dance party. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is dancing. If you can walk, you can dance. The toddlers are trying to dance salsa with their parents. Friends partner up and just dance the night away. It doesn't matter how old you are, whether or not you know how to dance salsa or merengue, someone will take you out onto the dance floor for a fun night.

3. It's romantic.

The songs about love are truly romantic. The singers talk about the beauty of falling in love and having someone special in their lives. Just listen to Romeo Santos. Trust me, you will fall in love just listening to him.

4. Shakira!

Because who doesn't love her?

5. It's a great way to express community.


Going along with my second point, this music really does truly bring people together. It is a great way to get to meet your neighbors and bond with family. You simply have to turn some music on, and through the partnering of the dances in Latin music, you are bound to dance and meet someone you have never met or haven't seen in a while.

6. It's a look into the culture.

Simply listening to the music can really give you an insight into how happy and full of life Latin American people are. The music reflects their roots, and the lyrics show an insight into the importance of love, community and just having fun. It is so contagious, how could you not want to be part of something as amazing as that?

7. You get to listen to a beautiful language.

I'm not just saying this because it is my first language, but it is a beautiful language. The language and words that come out of Spanish are one of a kind. Something everyone should see in it. It just sounds pretty.

8. It will make you smile.

The fun beats and style of music really do cheer you up. There is nothing better than having a pick-me-up playlist to keep you going when you're feeling down. The louder you play the music, the more you'll notice it.

9. It's sexy AF.

The lyrics are just sexy and will make you feel sexy while you listen to it. Need a good pre-game playlist before going out to a party or on a date? Latin music, my friends. It will get you excited for the night.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
